Welcome to the May 2004 RAP CD. We get started with a great sample of work from this months interview subject, Jim Hausfeld. Track 2 is audio for this months Production 212 column from Dave Foxx. Tracks 3 through 20 are part two of the 2003 RAP Awards "Best of the Rest." We get Small Market Commercials on tracks 3-9, Medium Market Commercials on tracks 10-14, and Large Market Commercials on tracks 15-20. Once again, our hats are off to these semi-finalists who came soooo close to winning an award this year. Good luck next year!
We wrap up this months RAP CD with some fun stuff. Rich Boerner has a couple of things to say about the Howard Stern situation on tracks 21 and 22. Track 23 is a parody song done to cheer on the Ottawa Senators when they took on the Toronto Maple Leafs. And finally, do you ever just want to say the heck with it and go nuts with the bells and whistles? Jon Carter does just that on track 23. As he describes: "A friend of mine and I send audio emails to each other. They tend to get more and more weird each time. At least it saves us from having to type them out." Can you say, "time on your hands"?
